AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 Ignores On-Screen Keyboard?
May 8, 2012
I have a user who is disabled. He can only use a mouse and cannot use a keyboard. For keyboard inputs, he uses the On-Screen Keyboard built-in to Windows 7. He has used many versions of Autodesk Inventor... since 2010.
Normally, the On-Screen Keyboard will always "stay on top" of all other programs and windows. With Inventor 2012, the On-Screen Keyboard disappears when you press certain buttons in Inventor. In my screencast, the On-Screen Keyboard disappears when you complete an Extrude function and also when you Fillet. I've also seen it disappear when during a Chamfer, but this is not in the screencast.
This is extremely annoying for a user who can only use a mouse, as he has to constantly bring back the On-Screen Keyboard by click on the taskbar icon. It's also inconsistent with what Autodesk did in the past with previous versions of Inventor.
This is a screencast of Inventor 2012 w/ SP1 and demonstrates the disappearing On-Screen Keyboard [URL]

I want to run a macro from a keyboard shortcut like I have been doing in the last several releases of Inventor. I can set the shortcut and it works. If I close/restart Inventor, the shortcut is lost.

Whenever I customize some keyboard commands, they always seem to reset after I close and re-open Inventor. I'm not quite sure how I could be missing something. I've gotten very use to these commands in previous versions. Once I setup my commands, I am able to use them for the session.

We have an engineer running Inventor 2012 (Premium Suite) on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine.
He's experiencing an issue where once he starts Inventor, it doesnt proceed past the splash screen.
If I then log onto his machine, Inventor loads fine without a problem.
If this engineer then logs onto another workstation, Inventor works fine for him on that machine.
I have tried deleting the .cas file, no joy; this is a stand-alone installation.
I also reported this to our re-seller since we have a support agreement with them - they recommended a system restore; we felt that this was a lame reply since they didnt even ask for any log files.
They also recommended a registry 'hack' - the solution in the link below was recommended.

We tried this, the problem still persists.
We also created a new profile for this user, still no success.
I get a feeling that a full re-installation might be the only way forward bar a system restore.
According to our subscription support engineer, there are chances that this issue might not be resolved even with a full re-installation.

I'm a school teacher in the PLTW program that uses Inventor extensively in my classroom. Our district operates under a 125 seat license. The issue I've run into is on my personal computer (Windows Vista, x64) and is therefore outside the realm of the usual IT guy's duties. The Inventor software was installed on my laptop by the PLTW training staff during my summer session. I *think* it is a stand alone install of the program.
What happens is after I launch Autodesk Inventor, I can see the splash screen, and the inventor.exe task appears in the task manager, however after a few seconds, the splash screen disappears and the program does not launch. There is no error message.
This is confusing since until quite recently I am sure that Inventor was working hunky dory. Also, all the other Autodesk programs seems to function normally (Fusion, Design and Review)
I've tried a repair and reinstall, but the problem still persists. Also, I updated the install with SP 1, but this had no effect either.
I have recently updated my display drivers (ATI Radeon), however, I tried reverting back to the older drivers and still the problem persists, so I don't think it is graphics driver related

I do tech-support work in a school district that is part of the Project Lead the Way program. As part of this program, we have 2 full labs of machines (25+ each) that are licensed for using Inventor 2012. Each year, this program supplies an updated version of Inventor, so each year I have to make a new Ghost image for those labs and apply it. All the machines are identical, and I image them with the same Ghost image file. This year, I'm having some major difficulty as follows:
On seemingly random machines with seemingly random student-level access accounts, the Inventor splash screen will come up when the kids launch the program…and then it will just immediately dump them back to the desktop with no error message whatsoever. At first I thought it was a rights issue, but on some machines it does the same thing when I log in with my administrator-level account.
These machines were imaged with Ghost, with Inventor 2012 installed, then activated on standalone licenses when the kids log in the first time (at least in theory). The machines are running Windows XP SP3, on an AD2008 domain. Sometimes you can log into a machine with a different user account where a kid has had this problem, and Inventor will open right up. That would seem to indicate that it's an account/permissions issue, but if you then take that kid and move him to a different (identical) PC in the lab, he'll be able to open Inventor just fine.
I've spent a good 2-3 hours Googling this one, digging into Autodesk's knowledge base and just looking through different forums, but I've had no luck isolating any factor that might cause this behavior so far. I even went so far as to do a full uninstall using the Autodesk uninstall utility on one affected machine. When I reinstalled from the disc, the behavior persisted. I also tried downloading Service Pack 1 for the software, which apparently just came out on August 31st. Installing the Service Pack didn't fix the issue either. I see nothing suspicious in the system logs that point out an Autodesk-related error.

I have found that with windows 7 64 bit (not sure about other versions) when inventor 2012 pro is installed, it causes windows safe mode to reboot at logon screen after like 3-4 seconds. I have found the cause to be a window service that it inventor installs called "Autodesk Moldflow Inventor Tool Suite Integration 2012 Job Manager". I disable this service via "msconfig" tool and windows safe mode works ok.

Recently installed the upgrade of AutoCAD 2012 from AutoCAD 2011.
It did not seem to migrate things very well? My PGP did not follow over and in addition to a few other settings.
I use the esc (escape) key to end a string of comands or if I want to go another direction. In AutoCAD 2012 when I hit the esc key on my keyboard it does NOTHING?
It is a key on my keyboard, not a keystroke shortcut?

I'm here with 2013 SP2 64 bit Build 200 and two screens. Left screen is graphics area, Browser is on the left of right screen. Graphics is ATI Fire Pro V7800 with driver 9.3.3.3000.
In video (zipped MP4) you see a cutout of both screens, think of screens changing at the left of the browser.
Now, in many cases, after doing an operation, the browser is jumping back to the middle of my graphics in the left screen.

If I do a command such as regen, or switch between tabs/modelspace, generally anything that seems to involve a screen update, then immediately following that if I try something like a Shift-Tab type of operation, there is no response from autocad until I move the mouse. This is consistent if hardware accelertion is turned on or off, so I can't go blaming the video drivers just yet.

A new feature in 2.8 appears to be keyboard accelerators (shortcuts) forthe pull-down menus. For example, Alt-S displays the Select menu, Alt-Wthe Windows menu, etc.
I have already assigned these key-combinations to other functions in thekeyboard shortcuts menu, but the default menubar assignments are takingprecedence.
How can I disable these menu accelerators so that I can regain the use ofthe Alt-[ESVILCTRWH] sequences?
Maybe there should be a toggle on the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts menu tohandle this. And certainly, if you reassign these keystrokes in the menu,their original function should be disabled.

When I try open AutoCad, at first it loads fine, doing all the pulg ins and that, then just stops.
The text in the corner just says "Loading", and I've left it for hours an it really isn't.

I'm really struggling with exporting a surface to XML.
I made a surface in which I paste all relevant corridor surfaces for the subarea of the project.
The surface looks OK in the file, but when I export, the XML file ignores my few edits, and adds excessive triangulation between adjacent corridors.
I already tried with adding boundaries, creating snapshots, exporting to XML 1.0 1.1 1.2, and regardless of what software I use the resulting XML, it looks crap, and the drainage team is struggling to work with it.

I have several surfaces pasted to make a composite surface, and a poly line is added as a none destructive boundary.
The surface looks fine on the screen, but when it is exported to LandXML the boundary is ignored, This creates a 120MB XML file, which will not load into Windes for Drainage work.
I can trim the breaklines defining each surfaces, but there is 8 models and 8 different areas to trim in this manor. This would take far too long and would also create 64 surfaces!!!

I am trying to create a simple three image panorama. I shot the images (an interior) using a shift lens, this has always worked very easily in CS5.
in Bridge I go to the Photoshop photo merge feature, select the three files - it opens up one of the files creates the photo merge layer but ignores the other two files. I have tried many different configurations, making sure all three files are highlighted in blue, auto and perspective always the same outcome one image plus an empty photo merge layer.
I've read through the archives that seem to address hdr - I've repaired my permissions using disk utility do I need to throw away my Photoshop permissions and if so how do I do that again? (mac 2008 tower 10.6.8) .

Seems that Photoshop ignores metadata on a Nikon raw image if the Metadata is written on the camera and not in PS. The powers to be suggest is that you duplicate the effort by writting this metadata in PS. Have a problem with that as why duplicate the work/effort if it is already written on the camera at the time the image is taken. Specifically on my camera I have th eimage comment field as 'Image taken by my name'. When I view a Nikon raw iamge via PS I don't see this field as well as approx 8 other metadata fields/categories. If I use teh Nikon viewing software IViewNX) I see all the metadata. Heres the kicker - if I save the raw image under PS it (PS) will remove all the metadata it doesn't see or know about.

My setup is a Mac Pro with GTX 680 card for mac.I bought this card, thinking it would do what Adobe advertised: "GPU Rendering - Work faster and take full advantage of your hardware with full GPU acceleration, now included in Adobe Media Encoder."
I want to transcode FullHD H264 to XDCAM HD. GPU acceleration isn't happening. The GPU is idle, while the CPU does all the work. Sure, it I want do de-interlace or downscale to an SD Format, the GPU works. But apparently not for transcoding.
Adobe should not suggest that AME can take full advantage of my hardware, because it can't.

My camera creates files like IMG_3456.CR2 and MVI_3457.AVI. I want to find all the files that have a pattern like "_345" in the name but when I search with Find>By Filename in PSE 11/Win the underscore is ignored. Why? How do I limit the search to just these files?
I want to find names like this because they do not necessarily appear near one another when sorted by date because PSE sorts the CR2 files by the date shot but the AVI files have some other date, perhaps when I copied the file off my flash card.

Looks like X6 carries over a X5 bug for bitmap import. When importing bitmaps it ignores the dpi metadata and assumes 72 dpi so bitmaps do not retain their correct dimensions. To properly scale a 300 dpi image, for instance, I need to select it and scale it to 72/300*100.

I'd like to know if there are shortcuts for select views of the ViewCube. For example if I press alt+t I see the top view. This for all views of the cube. I also use Blender3d, it has shortcuts for views and it's very useful.

Noticed Keyboard shortcuts not working from time to time in Inv 2011? It's ultimately frustrating because I cannot figure out what is causing the issue. Some times restarting Inventor or opening the keyboard shortcuts customize window works and sometimes it doesn't. Standard default shortcuts like "ctrl + p" for printing and custom shortcuts I have added both don't function in Inv. but work just fine in other programs.
Another undesired problem is after rebooting our machines the Project file is switched back to default.

I notice a bunch of my keyboard commands no longer work. Not ALL of them. Some of them stayed. At first I'm thinking that it's no big deal. I've exported my Customizations to an XML file and I can just re-import them., right?
So I did that. And yes, what I had saved in that file came back in. However, *SOME* defaults were returned at some point, so I still had to go line by line and scrub some things out to make them work. For example, I use "D" for general dimension in the drawing environment. But if the default setup had "DV" for detail view, "D" doesn't work because it's now an ambiguous entry. What a pain.
1. What's the deal with elimination of this bug?
2. Is there a way to wipe all the keyboard commands prior to importing my own XML file so I don't have to manually scrub out other stuff?
